Give me your worst, Lemmy! Absolutely nothing is off limits. Let’s get fucking weird!

I post this here because /c/iama doesn’t seem to be a thing…

Don’t hold back you jerks!

EDIT: It’s just about 05:00 for me. Night night! I’ll answer any other questions. In a few hours!

Prove the Generalized Stokes Theorem.

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago

So there was this guy, named Stokes. And, in 1966, pick up sticks, he proved that it was actually better to leave the bottle of ketchup upside-down. Pretty sure he won the Noble Prize, plus American Idol for that discovery.

You forgot the most important part: the QED.

If stuff go in stuff must go out

And how I’ve gotten massively nerd sniped when I should be doing other stuff. Great!

I had to look up "nerd sniping", I've been there. If it makes you feel any better, the Generalized Stokes' Theorem has a proof, e.g. it is a solved problem, it just requires a lot of reading.

I flipped through a few books in my e-library and found that Manifolds, Tensors, And Forms by Paul Renteln has two equivalent proofs starting on pg. 164. That was the "soonest" I could find the proof appearing in the books I know have a proof, e.g. building on the least material. IMO it's an "easy" book compared to other books I've read on manifolds and differential forms. There's a copy on LibGen.

Dammit now I want to go read my books :)
